2nd Veggie Box (Chemical & Pesticide-Free) From Farm To Home Delivery

My second chemical and pesticide-free veggie box from Farm To Home Delivery arrived! As with the first box, I’m very pleased with this one as well as the veggies are very fresh and clean. The veggies are pre-washed with Biolux ozone water. This is why I like getting my veggies from Farm To Home Delivery vs. from the market or roadside stalls. The veggies are free from soil and I can just store them in the fridge without having to clean them up first.

Leeks, plump and sweet cherry tomatoes, purple sweet potatoes, spinach, Siew Pak Choy, French beans, broccoli, ice plant, yau mak, Purslane and Choy Sum.
The two packets of green veggies with tiny leaves are Purslane, a juicy veggie chock-full of vitamins A and C and antioxidants. It’s also beneficial for heart and bone health. We used it for salad.
My favorite tuber – purple sweet potato!
We usually steam / boil the sweet potatoes. We sometimes add them into the porridge.
Did you know that purple sweet potatoes are a good source of beta-carotene but are an even richer source of anthocyanin pigments, which act as antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and boost your immune system? Purple sweet potatoes have about three times more anthocyanins than the average blueberry.
Some of you may be anal about the leaves of your vegetables and only choose flawless ones. I get attracted to those with holes coz it tells a lot about how the veggies are grown. If worms can graze on the leaves, they’re probably also safe for human consumption 😁

With so much fresh and crisp vegetables, we’ve been grazing on them everyday, from fresh salad to seared, blanched and stir-fried.

Sesame crusted pan-seared salmon with seared Siew Pak Choy. I love how Sherilyn decorated the salmon top with cute tiny Purslane leaves and thinly sliced cherry tomatoes.
Dashi and kombu broth poured over the salmon.
Crispy skin pan-fried salmon with juicy ice plant, purslane and cherry tomatoes.
Mother’s Day salad which Sherilyn made.
A salad with all my favorite veggies — ice plant, thinly julienned Japanese cucumbers, purslane and cherry tomatoes, topped with mozzarella cheese and a piquant balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
A healthy cheese on toast with tomatoes and cucumbers.

We’ve already finished all the veggies from our second veggie box and I’m getting ready to order my 3rd box from Farm to Home Delivery for next week delivery.

Stay safe and stay at home folks. Our Health DG has made a clarion call for all and sundry to stay at home to break the chain of infection. Our country is in a dire Covid-19 state of pandemic now and if we don’t do our part by staying at home and practise vigorous SOPs, this pandemic will spiral out of control just like India. Are you not scared? I shudder to think of it. Just do all your shopping online and duduk diam-diam di rumah for the next two weeks. I’m sure we can all do it, just like how we did it in MCO 1.0 last year 💪

What a Recruiter Can and Cannot Do for You

Many physicians suffer physical and mental fatigue because of long working hours, so they want a career change. Some want to relocate. We also cannot ignore the fact that they wish to receive better pay. Many physicians want to have better hours and a better work environment. Given the current health crisis, more physicians are stressed out and burned out.

So many physicians are looking at working with a physician recruiter firm because they can have better success in finding the job they are looking for. They do not have to work hard looking for their next job because the recruiting firm has the resources and the connections to find the job that will fit the job seeker perfectly. 

Working with a physician recruiter

A physician recruiter firm can provide you with exposure because the company has the right connections. But you should not rely on a physician recruiter to handle everything regarding your career. There are things they can and cannot do for their clients.

What can a physician recruiting firm do for you?

They can network to find the right organization that fits your specialization. Physicians applying for new posts on their own often overdo it, making them look disorganized and desperate when the hospital receives many calls from different recruiters about the same candidate. 

The physician recruiter can provide you with insider information about the specifics of a job. It is all right to ask them the questions you need to ask, like how long it will take for the facility to decide, the number of candidates applying for the position, and pending contracts. You can also ask the recruiter about the compensation structure and benefits the hospital offers.

What the physician recruiter cannot do for you

The physician recruiter cannot take a cut of your salary. The firm receives a flat fee for every candidate a facility hires. The facility looking for physicians has an annual recruitment budget and they take the fee for the recruiting firm from that budget.

The recruitment firm cannot market your potential if you cannot give them concise and clear details about what type of facility you are looking for and where you want to practice. Before you even contact a recruitment firm, determine what you need and what you expect. You should tell the recruiter what things are important to you, what working conditions you are looking for, and even where you want to continue your career. Maybe you want to concentrate on your specialization, want flexible hours, or wish to move to another city. Building a better relationship with the recruiter and discussing things will help the recruiter find the job that will meet your needs.

You will have more opportunities in your job hunting if you provide the physician recruiter with all the information relevant to your career and your plans. The success will depend on how easily the firm can market you according to your experience, knowledge, skills, and the career direction you want to pursue.
